If I could leave Dr. Friedlander negative stars I would! He is a horrible doctor who lies to his patients and their families. Because of the surgery he completed on my mom, she now suffers from other issues she did not have previously and had to get another back surgery to fix his sloppy work. Keep anyone you love/care for far away from this doctor. He will cause them nothing but pain and suffering. I thought doctors are supposed to take care of their patients. I guess not...

Without a shadow of a doubt he is one of the best Doctors that has ever taken care of me. I truly believe that besides the years of experience, awards and recognition he possess, Dr. Friedlander genuinely cares for the well being of his patients. Very educative, respectable. I have undergone both Lumbar Spine Surgery (2015) & ACDF Surgery (2016). I know recuperation and quality of life have a lot to do with your input and dedication, but you also require someone with the expertise to aid you. If it was not for the fact that I found Dr. Friedlander when I did, I, a soon to be 30 yr old woman, would be stuck with a miserable life. Marvin Friedlander is a human being who will treat you as one, will tell you the truth and will work to the best of his abilities to provide you with a better life under his care. Will always recommend him.

Never told me that only 30% of back surgeries are successful - mine was one of the 70% That are not.
